Postdoctoral Fellow in Biosensors and Bioelectronics    (PDF)

A Postdoctoral Research Fellow (PDF) position is available in the BioNano laboratory with Professor Suresh to investigate and develop novel molecular diagnostics based biosensors and bioinstrumentation towards field deployable tools for detection of infectious and metabolic disease biomarkers.

Applicants must have a PhD in bioengineering or chemical engineering or electrical engineering or chemistry or a related field.

Highly motivated postdoctoral fellow with focus on electrochemical based biosensor development are encouraged to apply. The fellow will be responsible for developing sensing mechanisms and interfacing with instrumentation to enable the sensor for real-time detection of analytes for healthcare and biomedical applications. Simultaneous and multiple detection of biomarkers or virus strains from the same sample is a challenge. Sensor interfacing and integration for real-time deployment will require team working skills.

The fellow will design, develop, construct, analyze and test electrochemical or optical biosensors for multiple analytes.  Previous experience in conducting electrochemical analytical techniques, sensor fabrication, and device testing and development, and enzyme characterization will be considered an asset. The PDF will work independently and also in a team setting and involve in student training and the technology development.

Outstanding researchers are invited to submit a full CV, a list of first-authored journal publications to Professor Suresh at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
